Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a very live bat with the ability to rack up doubles and also hit the ball over the fence. Can also steal bases and drive in runs when he's hot.
Flaws
  • Is extremely inconsistent at the dish, and can get into bad ruts that seem endless over the course of a season. His outfield defense is mediocre.
Career Potential
  • A platoon or fourth outfielder.
